REALLY??? Just not true at all. Cops don't typically ticket 40 and a 35 for many reasons, but one is the accuracy of the measurement devices (Radar/Laser, etc). Another is we have an unwritten agreement in this country that 5 MPH over the limit is "safe". But 1 mph over the limit for Golf carts? Really. The cops are after the guys who have Carts that race by you going 28 or 30, not 21.

I would really like to hear from someone who has actually GOTTEN a ticket, or knows the actual details of someone who has. I suspect the Golf cart tickets were for people going above 25, not 21.
